Chapter 162 Black-hearted system raises the price
Gu Xingzhao, who had read novels about domestic intrigues before, could not help but look at Concubine Liang a few more times. She had seen Lu Youtiao, who was extremely beautiful, and was not comparable to Concubine Liang in front of her. Could it be that Yang Fang was blind and chose a fake eye instead of a pearl?
She suddenly thought of the comments she had seen online before: A wife is not as good as a concubine, a concubine is not as good as a secret lover, and men all love excitement.
At this moment, Aunt Liang looked at the maid beside Lu Youtiao begging for mercy, as if she saw with her own eyes Lu Youtiao lowering her head and looking submissive in front of her, as if this would make her feel happy both physically and mentally.
Aunt Liang walked up to the two maids. Every step she took seemed to be stepping on their hearts. The oppressive feeling made the air freeze.
A maidservant couldn't help but shiver, and her hand, which was lying on the ground, was raised and stepped on by Concubine Liang.
The maid begged for mercy in pain, and her shrill cries echoed throughout the courtyard.
Hearing this, Gu Xingzhao felt sorry for her hand and thought that Yang Fang's mistress was quite cruel.
In the courtyard, the servants who heard the sound felt sympathy, but no one dared to say a word.
Aunt Liang looked at the people in the room coldly and sneered, "Take a good look at who is the master of this mansion now!"
The other two maids in the room lowered their heads and avoided her gaze, fearing that their eyes would anger Aunt Liang and cause them to suffer the same fate.
Aunt Liang's face gradually calmed down. She withdrew her foot, her eyes full of satisfaction, without any trace of her previous anger. She casually pulled out a hairpin from her head and threw it on the ground, like sending away a beggar, "Here's a reward for you."
The maid whose hand was stepped on had a painful expression on her face, her eyes tightly closed, tears of struggle seeping out from between her eyelashes.
The maid behind Aunt Liang scolded loudly, "Why are you crying? You are disturbing our wife's peace! Get out now!"
Hearing this, the maid who was kneeling beside her hurriedly picked up the hairpin on the ground, supported her companion whose hand was swollen from being stepped on, and quickly fled the room.
Aunt Liang turned her head and glanced at the two servants behind her, "Why don't you serve me the food quickly?"
She reached out and touched her slightly bulging belly. Yang Fang coaxed her all day long, saying in the past that she must not offend the Lu family. Now that the Lu family is gone, he said that he was about to be promoted and she must not be gossiped about. Until now, he has not divorced Lu Youtiao.
She didn't think much about it at first. After all, Yang Fang had to marry Lu Youtiao for the power of the Lu family and his future career.
Yang Fang also promised me that when his career went smoothly in the future, he would find a way to bring me into the mansion and make me his co-wife, on an equal footing with Lu Youtiao.
As a result, after two years, I still haven't waited for this day.
He listened to Yang Fang saying all day that Lu Youtiao had a bad temper, was expensive, and was difficult to serve. He didn't even want to go home. He thought that Lu Youtiao must be born very ugly, which was why Yang Fang was so annoyed with her.
She also always felt that Yang Fang would take her into his home sooner or later. After all, the relationship between her and him for so many years was far beyond what Lu Youtiao could compare to.
It was not until she unexpectedly met Lu Youtiao in a clothing store one day that she realized that Lu Youtiao was extremely beautiful. Only then did she realize that Yang Fang's lies were just lies to deceive her!
Thinking of this, she gnashed her teeth in anger. If Yang Fang hadn't known that she was pregnant, he would never have brought her back.
However, Lu Youtiao was locked in the room by Yang Fang. She didn't even have food to eat. Yang Fang also didn't allow him to see her. He didn't know if she was still the same as when he first saw her in the clothing store. Maybe she was starving to death.
Thinking of this, she touched her belly and couldn't help but laugh sarcastically.
Gu Xingzhao followed the two maids out.
"This Aunt Liang is getting more and more violent. She even stepped on your hand like this!" the maid was indignant.
The maid who was crying in pain just now didn't take the injury on her hand seriously at all. "I'm fine. The hairpin looks valuable. We can sell it and buy a lot of medicine for the girl."
It was just some physical suffering. Life was easy before that, but I was penniless and couldn't see the girl.
It was not until Aunt Liang entered the mansion and became so arrogant that everyone in the mansion kept a close eye on this pregnant concubine. Only then did they have the opportunity to secretly visit the lady from time to time and bring her some food.
This Aunt Liang had a very strange temper. She always beat and scolded people. Perhaps she was afraid of losing people's hearts, so she would give some silver or something afterwards. If it weren't for this silver, they would not have been able to sneak out to get medicine for the girl.
It was because they discovered this way to make money that they took the initiative to take on the job of delivering food and deliberately made trouble in front of Aunt Liang.
However, after taking the medicines that were prescribed earlier, the girl's condition did not improve, and she could not invite a doctor to the house, so she could only watch as her condition grew weaker day by day.
They just wished they could cut Yang Fang, the ungrateful bastard, into pieces, and watch the girl suffer helplessly.
Gu Xingzhao was stunned. These two little maids were really loyal.
The maid didn't even wipe her tears, she took out the steamed bun from her arms and stuffed it into the hands of the indignant man, "Go and give the girl some food, I'll go and distract the gatekeeper."
Originally, she was supposed to deliver the message, but now her hand was injured, and if she went by herself, the girl would be worried.
Gu Xingzhao followed the two men into a dark courtyard. He saw one of them took out some silver and stuffed it into the hands of two guards guarding the gate, while the other one quietly went in.
Walking into the house from the courtyard, it was pitch black. Gu Xingzhao followed the maid and saw that the maid was well prepared. She took out a tinder from her bosom and fumbled to light the candle on the table. Only then did a faint light appear in the room.
The maid hurried to check on her master lying on the bed, "Young lady?"
The person on the bed didn't respond. She was so scared that her voice trembled, "Girl!"
After pushing twice, Lu Youtiao finally opened her eyelids with difficulty and looked at the person in front of her, "Qiuyue, why are you here again?"
Hearing the weak voice, Gu Xingzhao also walked towards the bed. With the dim candlelight, he could see Lu Youtiao lying on the bed. Her face was pale and she was so thin that it made people feel distressed.
She vaguely remembered that when she first met Lu Youtiao, she was caught by Lu Qing for taking her younger brother and sister to climb trees to pick fruits. Even after being scolded, she still smiled and acted coquettishly, which made the old man both angry and amused.
Such a lively person, who was once the eldest granddaughter of the current cabinet minister and was so pampered in the Lu family, but in this Yang Mansion, she was tortured to the point of being on the verge of death.
Gu Xingzhao, who loved Yang Fang, remembered Yang Fang harshly at this moment!
Qiuyue held back her tears, helped Lu Youtiao sit up, took out a white steamed bun wrapped in paper from her arms, tore it open a little bit, and fed it to Lu Youtiao's mouth, "Girl, please eat a little."
Lu Youtiao opened her mouth and chewed with difficulty for a few times, trying to swallow the steamed bun, but it was too dry and choked her
. Seeing this, Qiuyue got up and walked quickly to the table, picked up the teapot, but there was not a drop of water. She cried anxiously.
Gu Xingzhao didn't have time to go back to modern times to get water, and he was not familiar with the Yang Mansion, so he didn't know where to get water. He quickly called the system, "System, give me a bottle of water!"
The product pop-up window appeared, and the system voice sounded, [Wa Xixi purified water, 596mL, priced at 799, host, are you sure you want it? ]
Gu Xingzhao was so angry that he laughed. A bottle of water that costs two yuan, you have the nerve to sell it to me for seven hundred and ninety-nine! ?
